History

WCBC-FM began in 1990, as WKZG, always owned by Cumberland Broadcasting Corporation. The call letters were changed in 1994, to WCBC-FM, to match sister station WCBC 1270 AM. Previously, the WCBC-FM call letters were used between 1963 and 1969 by a Christian radio station in Baltimore, broadcasting on 105.7 MHz. [2] The call letters stood for "Christian Broadcasting Company" and the station also used the advertising slogan "Where Christ Brings Comfort". [3] That frequency is now WJZ-FM's in Baltimore.

Sports coverage

WCBC-FM is also the home of NASCAR Nationwide Series, Camping World Truck Series, and Sprint Cup racing. WCBC carries all races from MRN Radio and PRN Radio, plus most (if not all) MRN and PRN programming.

Translator information

WCBC-FM had a translator in Cumberland on 99.5 FM. The 99.5 signal was supplanted by the new, full-power station WVMD in April 2008.
